    Aerotech + fanuc

    HI!
    I connected optional incremental encoder ( 2000 cpr) witht Hall 8 pole outs to Fanuc 20F A06B-0352-B731 .
    I have tuned hall encoder out signal with motor back emf - it is ok,
    I'm trying to control motor by Aerotech BA30-320
    Motor spins cw/ccw, but at low rpm no stability, I can stop rotor by hand!
    Motor can spin about 2000 rpm
    it seems no incremental feedback, only Hall - but incremental encoder connected (Sin, Cos )
    I checked the BA-30 settings several times ( have full manual) , changed JP14 position ( encoder to tachometr ) - motor spins without any changes.
    Can any help with BA-30 ?
    Thank You

    I am presently testing some motors on a B30-320 I have used the factory jumper settings,
    except JP14 I am using 2-3.

    I tried JP14 1-2 and 2-3 - there is no difference
    If to disconnect Sin Cos incremental signal - motor spina without changes (slightly increases the speed). I use velocity mode, with all JP by manual.
    resolution by manual 1000 -1500 cpr., I use 2000 cpr - is this problem ?

    I do not connect resolver just hall effect commutation.

    "I do not connect resolver just hall effect commutation" - and You have good result ?
    Sin Cos feedback signals - is this rectangular pulses are real sinusoidal signal ( like resolver)?
    Why can I stop the engine by hand - and the amplifier is not trying to fight ?
    Thank You!

    In the manual I have it is section 2.4.2. and fig 2-6 Current Command Configuration.
    The one you refer to is the Velocity command config?
    I do not have the encoder hooked up, just a battery box. I have it on the bench right now setting up some CUI BLDC encoders.
    In the current mode the POTs are set to INPUT CW and Gain fully CCW
    See 2.5.1.

    I use velocity mode 3.3.1 by my manual - please check is this right?

    I use the next 3-3-2 works fine.
    Are you using a battery box?

    A box using two 9vdc battery's and a pot for simulating the ±10vdc analogue command.

    O, yes two "crone" bat. for +- 10 v
    I trying " current control" - motor spins , but I can stop rotor by hand
    Where the error - I do not understand

    Sure the drive is OK?
    Is it used?
    Disconnect power Short the motor phases out and see how hard it is to turn.

    Sorry, I do not understand everything .
    I disconnected phases from BA and short any combination - motor spins very hard.

    This is a test of the motor magnet strength, if shorting all 3 and try to spin the motor as fast as possible, the resistance is a measure of whether there is a loss of magnetism.

    Apart from testing with another motor, I am not sure as the LED's usually indicate a problem?

    No errors by led
    Motor spins.
    I have bldc vexta 50w motor ( only Hall out) will try this motor
    His driver run 24 vdc, BA 110 volt - problem possible ?

    I have run low voltage motor on the BA for test purposes with no problem.

    Vexta motor spins the same as fanuc ( bad start and low rpm, no power on rotor)
